Tungsten Beadhead Stonefly Nymph

Get Down to Where the Big Fish Live

Tired of your nymphs drifting over the fish's head? The Rivfly Tungsten Beadhead Stonefly Nymph is engineered for one primary purpose: to get deep, fast. When trout are hugging the bottom of a river, you need an anchor fly that can cut through the current and present a meal they can't refuse. This is that fly.

Why It Works:

• The Tungsten Advantage: At the heart of this fly is a high-density tungsten bead. Tungsten is significantly heavier than brass, allowing for a smaller profile and a much faster sink rate. This means you can reach the riverbed in swift currents where monster trout often hold.
• An Uncanny Imitation: We designed this pattern to be a hyper-realistic imitation of a natural stonefly nymph, a primary food source for trout year-round. The segmented abdomen, dual feather tails, and buggy legs create a silhouette and movement that fish find irresistible.
• Triggering the Strike: The body is dubbed with a special blend of natural and synthetic fibers that create a "buggy" texture and a subtle, life-like flash. Wrapped with a fine copper wire for segmentation and durability, it adds just enough glint to catch a trout's eye as it tumbles along the bottom.

How to Fish It:

This fly is a must-have for any Euro Nymphing setup, where its weight is critical for maintaining contact with your flies. It also excels as the heavy point fly in a standard indicator rig, helping to pull your smaller dropper flies down. Dead-drift it through deep runs, seams, and boulder-strewn pockets. Let it tumble and tick along the bottom—and be ready for an aggressive take.
